Date: Tue, 11 Feb 1997 18:59:33 -0500 (EST) From: David C Applebaum Subject: Re[2]: Media Type application To: iana&ISI.edu Name : David C. Applebaum E-mail : applebau&131.167.52.15 MIME media type name : Application, vnd.commerce-battelle MIME subtype name : Vendor Tree Required parameters : None Optional parameters : CHARSET, as defined for MIME. Encoding considerations : May need QUOTED-PRINTABLE transfer encoding. Security considerations : Smart Card Commerce transactions typically include sensitive data, so that transmission often needs to attend to authentication, data integrity, privacy, access control and non- repudiation concerns. This specification permits transmission of such smart card based data via services which support MIME object encapsulation. This specification does NOT, itself, provide security related mechanisms. These mechanisms must be added either by proprietary means or MIME based security services such as: Security Multipart for MIME - RFC1847, Secure MIME- RSA PKCS(Public Key Cryptography Standards), MIME Object Security Services - RFC1848, Message security Protocol - Draft RFC by Housley. Interoperability considerations : Published specification : Applications which use this media : Existing practice for exchanging Smart Card Based information includes a wide range of specifications. This traffic is expected to grow substantially. This content type provides a means of delimiting such content in a standard fashion. Usage: This is a generic mechanism for sending Smart Card based information for digital commerce, identification, authentication, exchange of smart card based card holder information. Additional information : 1. Magic number(s) : 2. File extension(s) : ica,icf,icd,icc,ic# where # is an integer such that -1<#<9. 3. Macintosh file type code : Person to contact for further information : 1. Name : David C. Applebaum 2. E-mail : applebau&131.167.52.15 Intended usage : COMMON. Usage: This is a generic mechanism for sending Smart Card based information. Author/Change controller : David C. Applebaum, Battelle Columbus Operations 505 King Ave. Columbus, OH 43201
